Let's Switch To Color

While we organize more notes, I thought we'd move into the 1950's for a little picnic pictorial:
 
Delores (Alcott) Trout - pregnant, Thelma (Countiss) Alcott [please correct my spelling if I've messed up] and daughter Jackie standing behind her, Lois (Alcott) DeHart.

Let's see, foreground - Thelma (Sis) (Alcott) Humphrey, Ada (Carroll) Alcott, Claudine (Carroll) Marks, Claudia Alcott, Delores.  Jackie Alcott is standing.  Background - George Humphrey and Carole Alcott. Try clicking on these to make them bigger.


Poker!  Left to right, Carl Alcott, Jack Alcott, William Alcott, Stephen (Bud) Marks, the back of Chet Clifford (argyle socks), Douglas DeHart, George Humphrey in the chaise.


More pregnant ladies - Marion (Godfrey) Alcott and Ginny, Virginia? (Pike) Alcott.  I think this is a different picnic now.

 
Delores and Sis with son, Donald Humphrey.
 
Our picnic hosts, Thelma and Jack Alcott - Ethel (Alcott) Clifford sunning in the background.


Claudine (Carroll) Marks, Jack Alcott and Ada (Carroll) Alcott.
 

Aunt Claudine Marks.

 
Chet Clifford and Carl Alcott.


Heavy-duty poker.  William Alcott, the elder, son William Alcott, Uncle Bud Marks, Chet and Carl.


I think, Aunt Ethel holding Doris Alcott, Susan Trout, smiling Janet Alcott and Jackie Alcott.


The only kid I recognize in this one is my brother, Doug DeHart - no mistaking that strawberry blonde head.


Lastly, a picnic at the DeHart fireplace -- sack races!  peanut scrambles! so much fun. The kids are fuzzy with jumping, but standing to the side are Carole Alcott and Bill Alcott.  This is early 1960's I'd say.


Ada (Carroll) Alcott, Jack Alcott, Jeff DeHart, Susan Trout in the background.

 
George Humphrey and Morris Trout (Uncle Morrie catching fish wherever he went).

  1. Claudia S.....Your father looks exactly like Jeff! Jeff even leans in his chair while sitting just as your dad is in photo #3. Really cool to see the "fireplace" in original condition.
